Description

Meggie is described as a tall and slim girl with bright, smooth blonde hair and blue eyes. People say she looks just like her mother, except her mother's hair has darkened during the time of slavery to Mortola. Meggie generally wears casual clothing, described as jeans, sweaters and occasionally dresses. She is very laid-back. She loves reading books, especially ones with happy endings, and they are her closest friends. She loves a boy named Farid but, in Inkdeath, gradually her feelings for him became distant as he thought only about Dustfinger's death. In the third book, she shows signs of feeling for Doria during Farid's absence. In the end, she chooses to stay with Doria instead of travelling with Farid. She confesses that her heart beats stronger for Doria than Farid. Meggie gave the nickname "Mo" to her father, and has never called him anything else. She also has the talent to read characters out of books. She is a very brave girl but can sometimes be rather stubborn.
